Blank and rejected ballots are excluded from result shares. Colours are a display palette. Unknown figures remain unreported. The published table describes both parliamentary divisions. Party seat totals combine lower and upper houses; the popular vote is counted once. Division allocation: Home Rule Party: lower 8, upper 7; Independence Party – Langsum: lower 3, upper 0; Farmers' Party: lower 4, upper 1; Independence Party: lower 1, upper 2; Independence Party – Þversum: lower 6, upper 3; Social Democratic Party: lower 1, upper 0; Independent Farmers: lower 1, upper 1; Independents: lower 2, upper 0. Upper-house composition includes continuing nationally elected members. These are post-election composition totals, not a claim that every seat was newly contested. Reported fractional vote equivalents: Home Rule Party: 5333.5; Independence Party – Þversum: 938.5; Social Democratic Party: 903.5; Independents: 1336.5. These are historical allocations rather than whole-ballot counts.
